2011 January SAT: Writing Section

<p>@caveat/OSUBuckeyes It was “the lives of women, who” because “women’s lives because THEY are less mobile than men”. The latter is incorrect because it compares women’s lives with men. Therefore, the other answer choice is correct.</p>

<p>@icesk8girl
Yes, or that’s what I put at least.</p>

<p>little to no was no error
“the lives of women, who” is correct</p>

<p>Did anyone else get several D’s on the writing section that I believe was section 4? (I had an experimental writing section, and I know that I had one writing section as section 5 and the other one was before that.)</p>

<p>“the lives of women, who” - I put that too. If you choose the one that begins with “the women’s lives” there’s no antecedent for the pronoun “they” (although you can generally figure out that they are talking about the lives of women). But I think “the lives of women, who” was gramatically correct.</p>

<p>yeah but then in my SAT prep class
_<strong><em>however, </em></strong>
the however is a something verb rule and you need a period before it?</p>

<p>@OregonSenior - Something like 4 out of the first 5 questions were D for me in one section. It may have been that one.</p>

<p>@Rayquaza
That’s only if you have an independent clause before it.</p>

<p>just for all, the first 35 question writing section was the experimental. I remember thinking that I completely bombed it and sitting in disbelief, but then turning the page to find I had a second chance.</p>

<p>^
How do you know it’s the first and not the 2nd?</p>

<p>Is the 1st the one with the Bicycle paragraph or the spice one?</p>

<p>For the spice one, which did you put for “what would contribute the most to the passage”</p>

<p>I was stuck between details of recipes of hot countries and details of rejected hypothoses. I chose the latter</p>

<p>^^Regarding the experimental section…</p>

<p>Likewise, writing was my experimental, but I’m led to believe that it was the second section and not the first. Here’s my reasoning: I noticed that near the end of the fifth section, a kid across the room was using his calculator and filling in problems. I thought prior to the test that everyone in a single room would get the same experimental section, but after I saw him using his calculator, I thought that my presupposition might not be the case. Either that or he was just dishonest. </p>

<p>Regardless, I sure would love the first one to have been experimental, as I felt like I did terrible on it. :)</p>

<p>Not only do people in the same room get different experimental, they get sections in different orders.</p>

<p>They get different sections in different orders and different experimental sections. Also, I believe there are multiple versions of writing/cr/math experimentals, because my experimental writing was on cartography.</p>

<p>I think you’re allowed to use “little to no” or “little or no” interchangeably…</p>

<p>My sections were:</p>

<p>Essay/math/reading/reading/math/writing/writing/math/reading/writing</p>

<p>Did anyone have the same order? (writing is experimental) </p>

<p>I didnt do well on first writing but good on the 2nd one (i know that the spicy one is experimental and bicycle one is real but i dont know which one was the section 6 and which one was section 7)</p>

<p>For the question about the people visiting a museum and having no idea where to begin, was it “Because of never having been in a blah blah blah” or something else?
I think people said before that the answer was “Having never been in…” which would be right, but I don’t remember seeing that option at all. I must’ve glossed over it -___-</p>

<p>^“Having never been…” was a choice, as well as “Because of never having been…”</p>

<p>the answer for that one was Never having been in a museum…</p>

<p>Hooray for brain fry.</p>

<p>did anyone get delete the sentence for one of the answers?</p>
